Took this at the 2007 Millington, TN (Memphis) Air Show. The angle was weird and the picture is not perfect, but what do you think?

I love the speed and action of both the Blue Angels and the Thunderchicks, but I am always in amazement when I see the snow birds fly...very graceful.

Thanks for sharing

I might crop it a bit tighter, but I like it.

Thanks for the comments, I actually did a burst of shots starting zoomed in and going towards zoomed out. Here's another one...

Thanks again for the comments...I of course had to lower the quality to get it to fit in here.

Both display teams at one show...how nice is that!!?

I like the fan shaped spread across the F/A18s on the ramp. Nice catch.

I have to dig into the archives. I could swear I have a shot taken at McGuire AFB many moons ago of the BAs parked with the TBs flying over enroute to a different show...

Thanks for the comments. I'm no expert, but I am trying my best to learn as quickly as possible. It's been a small hobby for years but now I am getting serious...

I actually like the last pseudo panorama the best. :D

Great capture and timing.
